They won't even allow you to change permissions via FTP? Most FTP clients, including WS_FTP, AceFTP, and QFTP allow you to change permissions of files. They let you change permissions of Owner, Everyone, and Group.

The unix permissions that the popular ftp clients can set won't work on NT. NT permissions (IIS) are set by directory properties in Windows Explorer, or (again, in IIS) the web site's properties in IIS Manager. Usually, administrator access is required to set these permissions. For Links, the only permissions you'll need are "read" and "script" permission. The permissions for IIS are "read", "execute" (don't use on a web accessed directory), and "script"-- with a "write" check-box that can be set (this isn't necessary for Links). Hope this helps.
